Mmm, mmm, good!
A few issues were:
CSS = cool. However, blue backgroud with a red border into a black background looked odd. I think the blue was too light for my tastes.
Mouseovers: While awesome, aren't needed for, say, having a goon get killed by a mine. Sort of like a lense-flare effect. But the warp-blade sound was cool.
The Game: Was not very good. You defeated the DT rush, and held off his second assault -- but by mid-mid game, I knew you would win. Next time, a better game would own.
And I noticed one minor formatting error: there was an image that could easily have held left-alinged text next to it. But, instead, it was at the bottom. All the empty space looked odd, and it felt wrong.
Good points:
Writing, as usual, was good. Images were simple and clean, although the text you added was "teh sux0r" but I blame whatever freeware image editer you're using. If you need bubbles done, E-mail me at eldritchevil@warsmith.org and I'll be happy to assist.
This is much more technically advanced than any of your other reports, which is good. Next time, fix the color-balanced, find a much better game and get a better image editor. And then you'll be awesome.
I give this report a solid 8.5

I'm using Irfran View/Irfan View (not sure about name). Thanks for the comments, the Blue is actually 'midnightblue', so I don't know what's up with your browser.

Got a recommendation for a freeware graphics editor? I hear things about something called GIMP? |

No did like red here.
Or rather, I didn't like the red border. The report was good writing wise, pics were clean and all. Rollovers didn't annoy me or anything, but there you go. Lens flare does, so I'm not gonna go with Eld on this point.
badme: Rating thoughs?

DD: Re; Lense Flare smilie.
I don't find it nearly as annoying as a lense flare -- I was merely comparing the two in style. Both are gaudy, flashy, "look at this" features that can be overused. Lens flare to often terrible effects. |

Good report. Major complaint? Not enough gollies in the BR to make your title suitable. Something like "DT? - Doh!" would seem more fitting, given the amount of space you devoted to that tactic of Decay's.
On the whole, though, good.

A departure from your previous work badme, and I'm not talking about the game either. Your writing in the fencing reports was unique, it gave you a voice. This just seemed pretty average to me: there weren't any spelling mistakes, but there was no humour or strategy. What made drefsab or mark4 good reporters? I guess I'm just trying to say "find yourself." You had it earlier in the fencing work.
As for the game, it seemed like a typical lt pvt, nothing noteworthy. The only real thing that surprised me was killing your vultures to free up supply (well... maybe alastors "toll booth" too, now I know where you get your bad obba manners).
So the game could have been better, and so could the writing. The blue/red/black stuff was kinda corny, and seeing captions was a bit out of place with the rest of the report. The pictures themselves were on target though.
You can only get better

P.S,
was there a good reason to externally link this? |

| #23 badme[151072] |
| pcp05314423pcs.norstn01.pa.comcast.net |
Thanks for the comments. I think the uniqueness of the Fencing stuff is mainly because of the constant, back-and-forth action. Starcraft has that, but to a smaller degree. I tried to work in some strategy/countering, but upon reading it over, that's really only present in the beginning of the report (the whole early scv scout thing, etc).
And external linkage was due to the weirdness involving the CSS recently. |

Kind of weird alignment in many places, and several of the javascripts malfunctioned for me. Maybe its just the computer I'm viewing this on :P. Pretty well written, but could have been a little bit more insightful/detailed. Good, non-fencing, report.

I liked the writing, but i have a few complaints. First of all, the mouseovers still didn't work for me by the time i was done reading. At first I attributed it to 56k, but it still shouldnt take that long. =/
Second, you said i bragged about pvt. Either i was joking or you're lying. PvT is my worst matchup because tanks are so damn haxed (its a joke, they're balanced you newbs). I know I have said that to many people before.
Also, the rush isn't my end all hope to win the game. Using that build order, I have a good economy, and 3 gates to produce from. I'd say I win with the dts about 1/2 the time. (more with pubs, less with nhers) But I am always ready to switch to zealogoonars, and I do even before the dts reach the enemy base usually. I remember this game though, it was a good one. We'll have to re sometime. ;)
Nice report, but -9 because I lost. so 1. |

| c-67-164-215-17.client.comcast.net |
Decent report. Most relevant points been gone over already, but I want to point out you committed a reporting sin by giving away part of the game when you introduced that island expansion. Normally I prefer that the information in a BR you participate in (Big Gay FFA's an exception) be kept pretty much to what you knew during the game.
Mentioning that the island expansion that was just starting would be crucial later on in the game is a no-no. If you wanted to explain the minimap, just mention that Decay was starting an expansion that you didn't know about at the time. you can introduce it again later when it became important. |

i wonder if i'm still allowed to post as a rater... anyway, i agree with everything luckynewbie said, this report was solidly average
pretty good writing, pretty bad (not noteworthy) game, acceptably good presentation and images
i'd give this a 6 probably if i still remembered the rater password :P |

| I thought this report was pretty f'n, good. Theres a reason why teachers don't enjoy letting kids grade each others papers more than 3 times a year, because it is a known fact that they grade each other more harshley than the teacher would, and they play favorites when grading. I see this in LuckyNewbie's rating. You tell him that his writing style is not yet unique, and he needs to "find himself". Yet, badme correct me if I'm wrong, but in general when your in-game you try to stay focused at the same time your very laid back, only panicking when you're near-death like we all do. Your not an outrageous comedian, but you offer quirky commentary to ordinary convos, and you like to spice up even the most boring actions in a game, without having to bullshit yourself and others too much. Correct? I'd give you an 8.5. Don't listen to these raters. |

I find myself agreeing with LuckyNewbie, .Praetor, and Dr. Awesome. This report read to me as purely average. Nothing really bad about it but it wasn't great. I read this yesterday and waited a day to see if my opinion changed but nope.
I felt it was between 6-7. I'll say 7.
P.S. badme: No, there have been reports with same or greater differentiation I think. |
| #42 [151117] |
| 67.176.104.160 |
It wasn't until Dag messaged me today that I realized I did leave out an important part. I'm new at this rating/comment thing, I'll get the hang of it.
The parts I liked:
Early game detail -- enough to feed the action, not too much as to bore me to death. Quick intro -- straight to the game, no beating around the bush. You didn't miss anything giant throughout the game, 12 tanks didn't "suddenly appear." The narration, while it wasn't as unique and entertaining as the fencing stuff (c'mon, that was almost perfect), more than met the needs.
The layout wasn't that bad, the text and black background had a very professional look to it, but the blue "back-background" threw it awry.
The main reason it's 7ish is because the game wasn't terribly exciting. I'm sorry that I never said any of this before. It's not my job just to point out what is wrong with a report, and I think it's about time I realized this. I thought it might be preferable over the "Nice! 7/8/9" rater comments I've gotten on my reports over the years. Now I think I'll do a better job. I have to say that you've been mature about this criticism.
So I did like it, badme. I forgot to tell you that. (Make more.)
Oh, and "observer #1," as long as we're into personal attacks: you smell like poo. |

Hehe, now that I think about it, calling something average and giving it a gold doesn't really make sense. Your report was good enough for gold but had several detracting factors working against it.
As EE said the format was strange with the combination of black, red, and blue. The game also wasn't the greatest or didn't sound that way. Mouseovers for simple Dragoon kills wasn't really necessary either. (Yeah, I just repeated what he said again.)

Heh, I was on vacation or I woul dhave commented earlier :)
10 for mentioning me in the text :D
Anyways, I thought the game was good, and the writing was excellent, and the format was adequate, and the mouseover things were just awesome, and the words "and the" rock. This is actually the clearest writing that I've ever seen in a report. There wasn't anything super-unique about it - except for the DT noise when mousing over - but I don't think it was average either(the only "average" part to me was the layout)
I would give it an 8. A high 8, heh. <3 / Halp / Etc. Badme |
